yeah…. 2 models are not enough for a showcase, i was really hoping to see in that video most of the models that will be in the next dlc :((
I’m using large size maps. In order to make sure your very long line works do this: make sure you place the station right next to the industry. The length of road good travel by foot it should be minimun. The other thing is take care of the signals. Build only 4 signals on your rail line in order to make sure that once a train arrives at one end it leaves at the other end. 2 trains just following each other around aren’t of much use.
It kind of does. 100kmph AE, 65kmph crocodile. You need 35% more wagons using the croc to transport the same amount of production / year. The maintenance difference between the ae and the croc is small, so those 35% more wagons will eventually cost you more.
20 mintutes is too short ONLY if you change the cargo trough intermediary stations. In this case, yeah, 20 minutes is way too short.
However, with one carefully placed line and just two 100 km/h trains working in tandem you can move cargo from one end to the map to the other.
This happens when you construct a rail. As soon as you modify the network, your trains try to find the new best route to their destination, adn sometimes, you have to destroy a doubel line to build a fork, or something and your double line turns into a single line, even that is just for a few seconds. That is enough for some trains to now turn around and find a different route.
Workarounds this bug:
– pause while constructing new additions to your complex network.
– use some waypoints and one way signals on the way, especially waypoints to determine the station’s line a train should arrive in.
These workarounds will work about 90% of the time, but not always.
The only drawback to patching is that you get the “main connection” feature. That means you won’t be able to destry any road you’d like. Other than that, the patches have been mostly good, there are some performance updates you might want…
you have to have enough vehicles on all lines to trigger the production. 2 carriages/trucks won’t do. More vehicles means lower waiting times.
There is a hard coded time limit of 20 minutes before each good crate must reach its destination. That includes time spent from the mine to the station, waiting at station, unloading, moving it to the second loading bay, waiting for a truck there (THIS is what is killing your line, btw), loading etc, etc…..
When doing complex lines like that (transferring goods to a second line), you must take into account all the waiting times possible.
Any chance you can update your patcher to the latest version of TF ? Pretty please ?????
I ‘m making a mod that in effect “slows down time” by releasing vehicles later in the game than they normally would be (at 1/3rd the normal speed). For instance you will get the A 3/6 in 2021 (you normaly get that in 1907). Your patch would be very useful in allowing me to start the game in year 2000 (which is in fact old year 1900)
Yes, it is. in the same file you changed the year the vehicle is available from find the “description” field and change it.
The desription field looks something liek this:
description = {
name = _(“Tank wagon Wasco”),
description = _(“Double bogie, four axle tank wagon.”)
},
Yes it would be nice, but i foudn a workaroud this. Just create a lot of lines, pick the color that suits you mst then dele te the other lines. It’s not too much of a hassle i do that in 10 seconds.
I dont think it’s dead. I runs just fine for me, but i did tinker with it a lot. there is a mod that allows me to reduce the overall population of the world by 50% and that has helped a lot. There are aloo a lot of small comunity patches, not to mention the mods that make it extremely interesting.
There are issues, i give you that we’re still waiting on the developers to fix, but that doesnt mean the game is dead dead. It like….. undead !
Try the newly released ATT mod on train-fever.net . I’ts quite good, so far, although it is in the alpha stage.
